the road, in which town lots averaging a
least $4,000 each town can be sol4.
$240,000. The total value of subsidies
obtained will be 81, $50, 900. The owners
of the coal, iron and copper deposit
along the line of road, now valueless for
want of transportation, will donate a.
least one-fourth and in many instances
one-third of their property to the road.
The value of the subsidy in dollars
cannot be computed, but in addi-
ton to its intrinsic value the
product of the mines will afford profita-
BILE employment to thousands of laborers
and a large and increasing traffic to the
railway. 1t is safe to assume that the
traffic over this railway in coal, iron, cop
per, cattle, horses, hogs. sheep, wool, cot
ton, corn, wheat and other cereals, hay,
fencing wire, agricultural implements
machinery, lumber and general merchan-
disc will be so great that no single-track
railway in the state can supply rolling
stock sufficient to accommodate 1t.
Hence, it cannot fail to pay q large
dividend to its stockholders. In this
estimate i have made no calculation OF
subsidies in lands and town lots to be
obtained between Dallas and Decatur,
distance of ffty-fve miles, nor of lands to
be obtained between Decatur and Archer
City, distance of seventy miles, outside
of the fVe-mile limit, which is reasonable
to assume will amount to q sum quite
sufficient to pay for any right of way
which would not be donated, and TO pay
for surveying, cost of charter, office and
all other preliminary expenses.
Can the property owners of Dallas,
therefore, hesitate to take hold of this
enterprise, or will they throw it away,
yea, worse, surrender it to another city?
Let US awake before it is too late. Let a
meeting be at once called to organize and
inaugurate this momentous matter, and
if this or that existing proposition does
not suit, let frank and fearless discussion
evolve one that will. But by all means
let something be done, and that right
speedily. JOHN F. ELLIOTT.

G. W. Bowman and w. P. Bishop of
Plano were present. A telegram received
just before the meeting assembled, from
Colonel Fordyce at st. Louis to Captain
j. M. Cooke, was read, which stated the
bonds for the entire right of way had to
be closed up at once, as the company
were under promise to accept another
line if we did not close, so all that was left
to be done was clearly stated in Colonel
Fordyce's message. After considerable
discussion the matter was closed by
Plano making bond for the right of way
through Collin county, Greenville having
already made her bond for Hunt county.
W. A. Huffman of Fort Worth stated
Fort Worth would make the bond for
Tarrant and Dallas counties at their
meeting tonight, which would make a
clear right of way for the entire line. The
bonds for the same will be forwarded to-
morrow. Captain Cooke wired Colonel
Fordyce the result of the meeting,
which could be easily depicted
upon the faces of our happy people.
W. A. Huffman of Fort Worth purchased

had been on a spree ever since last Sun
day, climbed TO the roof of his boarding
house and took rope with him evil

coat, hat and gold watch and laid them
on the roof with some money. He then
took long steel-bladed paper-cutter and
plunged the keen instrument in close
proximity to his iugular vein, but missed
it, although he made cash two inches

yard. He then climbed high fence at
the side of an ash house, and here he evil

q vacant lot adjoining and made his way
across lots and though an alley to Front
street, where mis- wet clothes indicated
that he either fell into the water or made
an attempt 10 complete his work of self
destruction, but struggled out on the
bank where he fell exhausted and died.
The deceased was thirty eight years of
age. He had been employed as military
